Police in Jamalpur detained eleven individuals on Wednesday night for allegedly attempting to sell 3,000 liters of petrol illegally in Kendua Kalibari Bazar. Locals intercepted seven vehicles, including pickup vans and autorickshaws, carrying 15 drums of petrol reportedly being smuggled by local retailer Sohel Rana. The suspects and seized fuel were handed over to Jamalpur Sadar Police Station after being held at the Kendua Union Parishad office.
According to police and witnesses, the petrol was being transported to Bogura’s Sariakandi area for sale on the black market. Residents claimed that Sohel Rana and two other main suspects were released, sparking local frustration. Authorities confirmed that legal proceedings are underway and that the seized petrol and vehicles remain in police custody.
Officials stated that regular mobile court drives will continue against illegal fuel trading. The Jamalpur upazila administration assured citizens that there is no fuel shortage and urged the public not to panic.
